More and more homeowners and business owners are opting for laminate flooring over hardwoods, tiles and carpet. Here are some benefits to consider:

The color, pattern and finish choices are endless.

They are easy to clean. You can sweep or vacuum dust or grit and now there are many laminate floor cleaners available.

Installation is quick. The panels are designed to click together easily and, in most cases, no adhesive is necessary. Instead, you apply a sheet of underlayment material, and then snap the planks or tiles of the floor into one another. An entire room can usually be finished in just a day or two.

Laminate can be installed over almost any existing floor – whether tile, cement or vinyl – so you save time and the expense of removing old floors.

Laminate is more fade resistant and scratch resistant than hardwoods that show a lot of wear and tear.

Laminates are great for people who suffer from allergies and for people with disabilities who need to move around safely and easily throughout their homes.
